What makes All My Relations unique? The All My Relations program incorporates indigenous culture, traditions and ceremonies to address substance use disorders with indigenous men. Indigenous men often face collective and individual traumas resulting from historical injustices and present inequalities that have led to substance use disorders. We understand the diversity of indigenous cultures and we have fostered relationships with elders and traditional knowledge keepers from several nations. Our role is to act as guides to help men to rekindle their cultural identity and to support them on their spiritual journey. All My Relations is a supportive community where men are encouraged to build long lasting friendships and seek mentors to guide them in their recovery.
OUR APPROACH
Indigenous men often face collective and individual traumas resulting from historical injustices and present inequalities that have led to substance use disorders. We understand the diversity of indigenous cultures and we have fostered relationships with elders and traditional knowledge keepers from several nations. Our role is to act as guides to help men to rekindle their cultural identity and to support them on their spiritual journey. All My Relations is a supportive community where men are encouraged to build long lasting friendships and seek mentors to guide them in their recovery.
Recovery is a process where one realizes they are on the black road while under the influence of substances, they recognize that Creator can give them strength, a place where they can examine their past errors to recognize where they went out of balance, they take actions restoring balance and harmony, they begin to learn to live a spiritual life based upon cultural principles with a new code of behaviours and eventually start helping others. Cultural teachings are also provided which allow men to continue walking the red road after treatment.
